re: #72 lawhawk

Another need for a history lesson -

Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and British targets on December 7 (8th local time); US declares war on Japanese, followed by Britain and other allied countries (USSR demurs) on December 8, 1941 (DC local time).

Germany invokes obligations to Japan and declares war on US on December 11, with the US reciprocating in kind.

The December 8th declaration of war against Japan didn’t reference Germany. It was when Hitler announced his intentions to declare war on the US that the US reciprocated.

Yeah but those are facts. Pat and those like him don’t like it when facts don’t support their bullshit agenda.
